The next big event on the frosh agenda is the SC-UCLA freshmen picnic to be held at 11 a.m., Saturday, in Griffith park. A king and queen have been elected by the UCLA freshmen and the winner of the softball game to be played between tht two schools will have their king and queen reign at the picnic.

Other members of the planning committee are Bob Kuykendall, Junella Ball, and Dody Yale.
The picnic, which will be held at the merry-go-round picnic grounds, is being held in order to foster unity and good spirit between the two institutions.
All freshmen are urged to come out to the picnic Saturday and get acquainted with members of the UCLA frosh class as well as their 1 own. according to Trudie O Brien, president.

fresh on the paper.”
Trojans who attend the Mardi Gras weekend will have a good chance to show how they feel towards SC by giving out with some of the famous Trojan yells at the rally and football game. "Everyone is urged to come and yell until their throat gets sore for the famous varsity football team that led SC to the Rose Bowl last year,” stated Hoytt.

Sugiyama was a member of the board of field marshals which plotted Pearl Harbor. He retired from the government along with the rest of the Koiso cabinet in April, 1945. MacArthur ordered the arrest of seven leaders of the black dragon or kokurvo-kai society. Koki Hirota, premier of Japan from March, 1936 to February, 1937, was one. Also named were Rychei Uchida; Col. Kingoro Hashimoto, nationalist leader of the prewar “young officer’s” clique which demanded war with the United States and who ordered the 1937 attack on the American gunboat Pa nay; Tovasaburo Kikuchi, vice-minister of education in the Tojo cabinet; Oketora Ogata, propaganda minister in, the present cabinet of Prince Higashi-Kuni and a member of the house of peers; Seigo Nakano, leading fascist political theorist who once was reported a suicide; and Prof. Genchi Kato.

‘‘A student must first become interested In an activity of his choice before he can experience the real Trojan spirit We sincerely invite all men students and members of the faculty to participate in the fellowship of our stag tonight with the idea in mind that nothing more can be gained from an organization than an individual is willing to pot into it,” (Continued on Page Four)

Senate representation considered at forum
Suggesting three ways in which greater student participation in student body activities could be achieved, Maurice Gould, captain of debate, and Don Blank, junior class president, spoke to the Trovet open forum series yesterday noon
in Bovard auditorium.
ASSC continues contemplation on reorganization of student body
O.T. plans dinner
Olvera street will be the scene of a dinner to be given tonight under the sponsorship of the Occupational Therapy club. O. T. majors are invited to meet at the wishing well at 5:30 p.m., according to Jacquelyn Rust, social chairman
In the third session of the ASSC senate devoted to the consideration of the new senate composition, the report of the investigation committee was presented last night, and Aijita Norcop, member of the group, told of the changes which had been made since the document was originally presented for senate approval one week ago.
The committee reconsidered in favor of allowing the freshman president a voting seat on the new senate. The position of president of non-organized students was changed to read “representative of independents” in order to maintain the principle of non-segregation for which the senate is championing. Mortar Board, because of its importance in freshman orientation and other contributions to campus
life, was admitted to a non-voting seat.
The question of the schools of Law and Medicine having seats on the reorganized senate was thrown open to the legislators, and a large moth which flew in through one of the fourth-floor windows was finally captured by Larry Harlow, president of the College of Architecture and Fine Arts, after a lengthy battle.
The discussion on the changes in the reorganization opened with Helen Taylor asking why YWCA was not included, at least in th? non-voting members. President Armbruster stated that the committee felt that YWCA would be adequately represented through AWS. but a brief and heated discussion resulted in YWCA being
Resulting from the proposition placed before the senate last week by a special committee designated by ASSC President Bill Armbruster to find a way in which a more functional senate could be achieved, the forum was presented with the hope that more students would exagreed upon for a non-voting seat, press their interest and ideas on tht The question of WAA and ath- I topic of “Greater Participation in letic council seats was then Student Activities.”
brought ilp in line with the procedure of placing as many functions as possible under the AWS and the proposed AMS. Phil Burton viewed the subject from the angle that if AWS and AMS were to be represented, then WAA and athletic council would come under those offices, but it was pointed out that both groups have important all-year duties toward the student body and these were part of the criteria set up for holding a senate seat.
Miss Taylor then expressed the thought that under any set up there was going to be duplicate representation of some type.

Introduced by Trovet President Frank Soares, Milt Buck served
as moderator for the discussion which brought out several opinions from the audience. Speaking first was Blank:
“Many students have no knowledge of student activities, Blank explained. “University education is training for scholarship as weli as for citizenship, and many of the students are not participating in the latter.”
Blank stated that the present system of representation was inadequate and that he believed that there were three possible solutions. Gould then spoke of (Continued on Page Three)
